An excellent summary of Alchemy

Here is a very concise, well-written summary of the principles of 
Alchemy.

As others have mentioned Alchemy in relation to Harry Potter before, 
I thought this would provide a "Cliff Notes" version to those who 
have no time to delve into the confusing language of Alchemy.

It does have some easily recognizable connections to the HP series.

The Blackening Stage of Sirius Black
The Whittening Stage of Albus Dumbledore
The Reddening Stage of (I believe) Rubeus Hagrid

If Harry has LOVE and Voldy has SOUL (just look at his record 
collection;0), then blood must be given from the Reddening process 
to unite the opposites of HARRY AND VOLDY.  At least in some 
mystical sense of the words !  Neither can survive without the 
other.  The Self cannot be realized without the unification of the 
dark side of subconcious and the light side of conscious.  We must 
deal with our DARK SIDE like Luke Skywalker must face Darth Vader.

Given this theory, I think Rubeus Hagrid will die to provide the 
Reddening process just as Albus D. died for the Whitening and Sirius 
B. died for the Blackening.  Grawp could actually provide something 
significant here. If Hagrid dies, Grawp could become so angry that 
he destroys the large number of Death Eaters and various bad guys 
that outnumber the good guys in the denouement of the series.  Just 
a wild thought spoken by another Giant with a small brain!

Why don't the few of you who actually read this post talk amongst 
yourselves and add your own comments on how to apply Alchemy to Book 
Seven resolutions!

book Seven!)
